Super User GreenPig Posted March 18, 2022 Super User Posted March 18, 2022 Yes. Ruger 300 BLK. Amazing accurate with supers and subs for an off the shelf gun. The deer and pigs I've shown it to weren't fans of it though. 6 Quote

That is why it's considered a pistol. A buddy of mine builds them The top one is 9mm and thee others are 556 5 Quote

But doesn’t the letters AR stand for Assault Rifle or Armalite Rifle? So if it already has the term rifle in the name, it’s not a pistol. It can’t be both a rifle and a pistol. Maybe the correct term is AP15 for Assault or Armalite Pistol. Quote

So if it already has the term rifle in the name, it’s not a pistol. It can’t be both a rifle and a pistol. Maybe the correct term is AP15 for Assault or Armalite Pistol. Semantics. A rifle, by definition, has a barrel longer than 16" and a stock that gets shouldered. The AR pistol has a barrel less than 16" and a brace that assists in firing the weapon with 1 hand. Were you to put a standard stock on a firearm with a barrel shorter than 16" it is called a short barreled rifle and needs special permitting. We all know that you do not need to shoulder a rifle to fire it and you can very well shoulder a pistol with a brace to fire it. Semantics No different than what we hear from the powers that be about AR's. I can buy a Mini 14 and have the same stopping power as an AR of the same caliber and have an extended magazine. The AR looks like a military rifle, even though it isn't, and gets people up in arms about banning them. 1 Quote

I understand that. I’m not against them or a pistol or what @GreenPig has at all. I just don’t think it should be referred to as a rifle and a pistol in the same terminology. It’s either one or the other, not both. We don’t call a shotgun a rifle or vice versa. It’s one or the other. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 20, 2022 Super User Posted March 20, 2022 Semantics. A revolver is not a pistol and a pistol is not a revolver yet they are both handguns. I get where you're coming from. Call it an AP15 and not an AR15 1 Quote

He's not licensed to sell them. Just builds and shoots them. No kids and both he and his wife make good money. He has dozens of builds. He's a Marine. Did 3 tours in Iraq after 9/11 on the front lines. I'll just say, if war breaks out, you want him on your side. He was an apprentice of mine for 4 years after he got out in 2008. Lots of demons from when he served but a great guy nonetheless. 2 Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted March 21, 2022 Super User Posted March 21, 2022 My pistol is one of the cheap PSA 10.5" 5.56 kits. I don't hunt or do anything serious with this gun but it's a fun one to shoot. 5 Quote
